Table Tennis Training

There are many different philosophies about how to best prepare yourself for a table Tennis tournament. In fact, because preparation can be highly individualized and very personal, it may take many years of experience before you will know precisely how to train prior to competition. A lot of this discovery is a result of trial and error, but I will give you a few suggestions surrounding the use of the Newgy Robo-Pong Table Tennis Training Robot that may speed up the tournament preparation process.

When running drills on the Newgy Robot, make sure you incorporate drills utilizing the random placement feature. Drilling against random placement of the ball will best prepare you for what you will be up against in a match and will, therefore, prove to be more productive than training with ball placement that is not random.

Also, you probably have many different drills to work on which focus on both your strengths and weaknesses, but in the day prior to your competition, try to focus mostly on drilling to your strengths. This may seem counterintuitive because it seems like you will be losing all your points through your weaknesses, but a strength that is well-trained can be a massive confidence booster that can even flow over into your weaknesses. This does not mean to neglect training to your weakness altogether. These aspects of your game certainly need attention, but to focus on them right before you compete may lower your confidence, and that lack of confidence will definitely hurt your strengths.

So, to best prepare for competition, remember to drill with the Newgy Ping Pong Training Robot set on random placement to best simulate a game situation, and focus on your strengths a day or two before you compete to ensure that your confidence is soaring and you are ready for whatever your opponent dishes out.
